Alpine A290 and A390: New updates for the sports electric models
Alpine is taking advantage of the 2026 World Motor Show to update its electric vehicles. There are no new batteries or increased power specs planned, but a new Collection trim for the A290 and more customization options for the A390.
Alpine will not be coming empty-handed to the Paris Motor Show. While more details about the upcoming electric A110 are awaited, the French brand is introducing several new features to its A290 and A390 models. Technological revolutions are not expected; Alpine is focusing mainly on trims, colors, and customization options.
A new Collection trim for the Alpine A290
The main novelty relates to the A290, which now features a trim level called “Collection.” It will be available in the two previously known power outputs (180 and 220 hp), based respectively on the GT and GT Performance versions. This variant is recognized by its standard Blanc Nival paint paired with a black roof, wheel arches in the same color as the body, and 19-inch diamond-cut Snowflake wheels.

Alpine adds silver-gray front calipers and chrome monograms. A new Matte Storm Blue color, still with a black roof, will be reserved for this trim level. Inside, the A290 Collection comes with upholstery that combines textured coated fabric with deep blue/Evee gray fabric, as well as a new heated black steering wheel.
Telemetry, a suite of driving assistance features, and several small decorative elements will be available as options. Alpine promises to reveal additional specifications at the show taking place in a few days.
The A390 Also Focuses on Personalization
The “Atelier Alpine” lineup expands for the A390. The GTS version can be customized with Matte Storm Blue paint and a black roof, sporty Sabelt seats covered in gray Nappa leather, light gold accents, and 21-inch Snowflake forged wheels. Carbon fiber checkered inserts also appear in the interior.
The GT version will also benefit from new features, including an Alpine Blue Vision interior with a black roof and new 20-inch Comète wheels. The available options will be offered on both the GT and GTS models. In short, minor upgrades for greater customization, but no new technical specifications.
And soon more news for the electric A110
The other development worth watching relates primarily to the upcoming third-generation A110. Alpine confirms that this new version will be electric and promises to reveal more details along with an initial glimpse of its stylistic evolution starting September 28, 2026. The manufacturer already showcased a development prototype called the A110 Future this year to prepare for this transition. This model will be one of the main attractions at Alpine’s booth at the Paris Motor Show.
